Hi. I just found out I'm pregnant, and read extensively online about the risk of toxoplasmosis. I know all about having someone else clean the litter box, or wearing gloves while doing so, washing my hands thoroughly after handling cats and raw meat, etc. My two cats are indoors (always have been), but I'm worried about germs they spread outside the litter box. Sometimes they track their feces along the bathroom floor, and those same paws travel everywhere in our apartment! I'm totally freaked out by the possiblity of "poop germs" being everywhere (my bed, couch, floors)!! And it's not like I can spray their paws with Lysol--that's just mean and wrong!
Will this heighten my chances for contacting toxoplamosis?
